[kde-linux] Why can't KDE 3.3.2 leave my desktop icons alone?

[Eike Lantzsch]

Well, this is a problem which angered me already with previous versions of 
KDE.
I straighten out my icons with "align to grid" (They don't say "Jawoll" - but 
anyway but they stand in rank and file.) I save the desktop session and leave 
"align to grid" switched on. After restarting KDE one icon on the upper part 
of the desktop is shifted to the right. And one of the device icosn, which I 
have in a leftmost vertical row is now in the seacond vertical row from the 
left. All icons on the lower part are shifted up - every $/&%$"§ time the 
desktop is started. Up one row - restart - up another row.
So I switch "align to grid" off and save the desktop session.
Restart.
Some icons shift to the left others to the right - makes a "nice" wave ...

So why can't KDE leave my "!&%$§&$ desktop icon alone and leave them stay put 
where I left them?!

(# = some icon; T = Trash icon; F = Floppy icon; D = DVD icon; U = USB device 
icon; P = Kpilot icon)

what I adjust before restart:
# # # # # # # # #
T #
F #
D #
D #
U #
P                                               #
#                                               #
                                                 #
#

What I get without "align to grid" after restart
# # # # # # # # #
T  #
F  #
 D #
D  #
 U #
P                                               #
#                                               #
                                                 #

what I get with "align to grid" after restart:

T # #   <- some icon now always here
F #
D D     <- DVD-RW icon now takes other place

P                                               #

                                                 # <- these icons now up
#  <- these icons now up one row
